I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse.

That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss.

Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life.

It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it.

I was wrong.

What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart.

This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real?

Our Accidental Forever

After the call ended, I sat there staring at my phone, a mix of emotions swirling inside me, relief, frustration, and, strangely enough, a tinge of hope.

Arec had apologized, but the sting of doubt still lingered. Why had he been so quick to believe Joanne's assumption? Why had he doubted me?

I sighed, sinking deeper into the couch. It wasn't that I didn't understand where Arec was coming from.

The situation wasn't easy for either of us. But still, it hurt. I hadn't done anything wrong, yet here I was, feeling like I had to prove myself to him. I wasn't sure if I was ready to deal with these kinds of misunderstandings and doubts. This wasn't how I'd imagined things would be.

A contract marriage with a man like Arec should've been simple, clear-cut. But as the days went by, it felt like the lines were blurring, and I wasn't sure if it was just the baby that was making things more complicated, or something else entirely.
